The taproom, located at 7731 Gateway Ln NW in Concord, will be hosting a variety of festivities from May 22-28, leading up to the highly anticipated Coca-Cola 600 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway.

They had a choice and they chose my beer! That is special. That is why we are so excited to bring fellow racing fans in Concord a fun place to enjoy the Coca-Cola 600 with friends and family, entertainment, great food and, of course, delicious craft beer.”
